Beautiful wool rugs which can double as wall hangings are also among the distinctive offerings. To our surprise, we completed our 2009 Christmas shopping when we found charmingly painted balls for the tree and unusual pillow covers inspired by fine art Indigenous designs - an original gift idea for friends abroad and sufficiently light to post internationally.

They work with contemporary artists from remote Central and Northern Australia, along with indigenous communities across the world, including those in Kathmandu, Peru and Lima.
